The listing, South African Tigers Eye Swiss Marcasite Lever Back Earrings in S. Steel TGW 20 CARATS!! BNWT!! has ended.

These beautiful pear shaped tigers eye/marcasite earrings weigh 15.53 g and are brand new with tags! They measure 2" high total and 7/8" wide at the widest point. They do have a bit of weight to them, but not what I would consider heavy at all. Set in stainless steel.

A little bit about tigers eye:
Tiger's eye is what is a known in mineralogy as a pseudomorph. The term comes from the Greek for "false form." Pseudomorphs form when one mineral replaces another. The transformation begins when quartz becomes embedded between the fibers of crocidolite. This process can result in two different gemstones: a blue stone called hawk's eye or the golden brown stone called tiger's eye.
In the course of the process, the crocidolite is completely dissolved. But the quartz takes on the fibrous formations and this creates the parallel lines within the gem which gives it that shifting play of light. Though the iron and sodium of the crocidolite dissolve, traces of the iron oxide remain and this creates the golden color typical of tiger's eye.
